ASN Kidney News—the kidney community's leading newsmagazine— invites you to apply to be a KN Editorial Fellow.
Who can apply? Fellows entering their second, third, or fourth year of fellowship in nephrology with an interest in clinical nephrology, transplantation, basic research (physiology, pharmacology, or pathophysiology), or clinical research (observational research and clinical trials).

First-year participants will be provided with a series of training sessions to ensure their familiarity with editorial processes. Periodic “trainee only” meetings with ASN Kidney News senior leadership will be held to discuss specific topics in the editorial process.
Fellows will be assigned to a specific editor who will oversee their progress. They will work closely with the assigned mentor and the Editor-in-Chief.
What's the deadline? October 30, 2022. The fellowship will begin January 1, 2023.
